Crucial Track for 29 April 2025: Hungry Heart
"Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen
As far as representing my current mood goes, I'm actually just hungry. But Springsteen's 'Hungry Heart' is always a good choice. The story goes he wrote it for The Ramones, or at least was going to offer it to them. But he decided to keep it, and of course put it on The River.
That album — and most of his gigs since — wouldn't have been the same without it. But I'd still love to have heard The Ramones do it.
